Music Review | Judwaa 2 | Anu Malik, Sajid-Wajid, Sandeep Shirodkar, Meet Bros

By -

Now that I have lived nostalgia with the original album of Judwaa, I think my body is ready for this one. Two of the four songs in this album are from the original. It will be interesting to see how interesting are the original new songs and at the same time how bearable are the remixed versions of old songs. So let's get right into it!

Movie Release Date: 7th September 2017
Listen to the album on:
Saavn
Gaana
Wynk
YouTube

Chalti Hai Kya 9 Se 12
Singers: Dev Negi, Neha Kakkar
Lyrics: Dev Kohli
The male portion (basically entire song) feels like it is a musical cover to the original song. The background choir is awful. The electronic music piece to showcase Varun's dance skill is totally unrequired. This song doesn't have a very important line from the original - 'Govinda hai hero uska aur Madhura heroine hai. Pichali Sit Ki Do Tikate Hain Gup Chup Pyar Karenge Yaara.' What could have made the song better was more of Neha Kakkar's singing but of course, women don't have equal rights yet (pun intended. don't freak out!)

Suno Ganpati Bappa Morya
Singers: Amit Mishra
Lyrics: Danish Sabri
This song lost me when Amit Mishra sang the chorus - 'Suno Ganpati Bappa Morya, Pareshan karein mujhe chhoriyan'. People ask for higher grades, more money, happy life from God, but not this song. Also, the chorus has similar vibes to the chorus of Tera Pallu Sarka Jaye (Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge), another Salman Khan movie.

Oonchi Hai Building 2.0
Singers: Anu Malik, Neha Kakkar
Lyrics: Dev Kohli 
THANK GOD! I cannot even imagine anybody else singing this song than Anu Malik himself. Neha Kakkar is a refreshing addition to this epic song. I also liked that with changing times, dulhe raja is changed to swagger wale raja. Even then, it doesn't take away from the fact that this song is about 'booty call'.

Aa To Sahii
Singers: Meet Bros, Neha Kakkar, Roach Killa
Lyrics: Sonu Saggu
Do people still believe in numerology? Title me 'Sahi' me do 'ii' lagane se gaana sahi nahi ho jaata. This is definitely not a bad song. I can easily see myself grooving to the Punjabi pop beats of this song. This song takes me to the 2000s era of pop songs. #Nostalgia

I am not sure whether to be happy or sad that this album has just four songs. Though I totally despise remaking a cult movie, Oonchi Hai Building 2.0 and Aa Toh Sahii stopped me from clenching my fists and smashing my laptop screen. If you absolutely feel the need to listen to this album, those are the only songs you should listen to. I dearly missed 'East or West India is the Best' and 'Duniya Mein Aaye' from the original movie.

That is all I have for this album now. I hope you found this review useful. If you did then feel free to share it. Let me know you favourite song of the album in the comments below. Until then, Ciao...!!

Music Mention | Wrong Side Raju (Gujarati) | Sachin-Jigar

By -
If you are a gujju  or understand gujarati language, you can also check out my video review for the music album of Wrong Side Raju here: If not, read on! The page is all yours. Welcome back to another Music Mention post. My last post in this series on  Sairat (Marathi)  was quite popular among my readers. This time around we'll be talking about a gujarati movie. I've picked this movie for a couple of reasons: 1. Sachin-Jigar composition 2. Arijit Singh 3. Produced by Abhishek Jain who has directed some of my favourite gujarati movies like  Kevi Rite Jaish (How Will I Go)  and  Bey Yaar (Yo Pal!) 4. Produced by Anurag Kashyap 5. I am a gujju :P Let me reiterate it again. This is a special case of my music reviews. It is more of a music mention than a review. I liked something and I want others to be aware of it too. (that sounds like the social media culture of this generation of kids :P) (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) Satrangi Re   (It'

Music Review | Dhanak | Tapas Relia

By -
I understand this is a late review from my side. In my defence, I heard one of the songs two days back and it compelled me to write this review. From what I saw in the trailers I am guessing there'll be a lot of folk music and lot of innocent lyrics since the movie is about two kids. Alright, without further ado, let's get started and see whether this album provides a "Rainbow (Dhanak)" of songs or are they monotonous.  Listen on Saavn Listen to Dhanak-2016 on Saavn Listen on YouTube Jeene Se Bhi Zyada Jeeyein Singer: Shivam Pathak First thing you'll notice is Shivam's voice in this song is similar to Sukhwinder Singh. It is not necessarily a bad thing. You are soon forgotten by that once you are brought to notice the fusion of folk rustic vocals along with fast-paced guitar strums. Chal Chalein Singers: Papon, Vibha Saraf, Shivam Pathak A failed attempt to try to many instruments in a single song. The percussion in the chorus cou

Music Review | M. S. Dhoni - The Untold Story | Amaal Mallik

By -
Cricket is religion in India, so is Bollywood. The two have come together in the past. They come together again with a movie based on India's most loved and successful cricket captain - Mahendra Singh Dhoni. So, without further ado, let's get into it and see if this album is able to build the same love among masses. Listen on Saavn: Listen to M.S.-Dhoni---The-Untold-Story-2016 on Saavn (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) Besabriyaan Singer: Armaan Malik Lyrics: Manoj Muntashir The song talks about impatience to move away from current mundane and low-key life. One needs enough motivation from inside to do that and Manoj Muntashir nails it with lyrics in bringing out this motivation. Armaan Malik showcases his singing versatility yet. Amaal Mallik has kept the most important song of the movie surprisingly underwhelming. The song peaks on high notes just before the chorus and the chorus itself is soft spoken. Kaun Tujhe Singer: Palak Muchhal Lyr

Music Review | A Flying Jatt | Sachin-Jigar

By -
I am not so much interested in the movie. The only reason I chose to listen to this album was Sachin-Jigar. I've been a big fan of their music. Do I have high expectations from this album? Well, it's conflicting - Tiger Shroff movie makes me question my expectation but I also know that Sachin-Jigar will not compromise.  So, without further ado, let's get into it and see if this album can set it's songs flying like the Jatt himself or falls flat on the ground Listen on Saavn: Listen to A-Flying-Jatt-2016 on Saavn (Click on the song title to play it in YouTube) A Flying Jatt - Title Track Lyrics : Vayu & Raftaar Singers : Raftaar, Mansheel Gujral, Tanishkaa  I like this song. Period. Now let's get into one thing that bothered me. I understand this song is dedicated to the kids (even though lyrics have alcohol references), but a 8-year old girl (Tanishkaa) singing the following lines is just wrong - "Flying jatt mera BFF hai,  Aur iklot

Music Review | TVF Humorously Yours (Web Series) | Vaibhav Bundhoo

By -
Last one and half years has seen a surge in web mini series. All of them targeting the ' t raditionally a verse t o t elevision' y outh ( t.a.t.t.y. ). So much has been the impact of these web series that even the mainstream players like YRF and MTV are creating content on YouTube. However, the most ingenious and the pioneer of web series have been The Viral Fever (TVF). They have really managed to match the wavelength of t.a.t.t.y. with all their web series. Apart from their amazing plot, TVF's content is also known for out-of-the-box soundtrack. I decided to start reviewing music for web series last week and was contemplating whether to start with my favorite one or the latest one (the struggle is real). To make my decision easy TVF launched the original soundtrack for their latest TVF Humoursly Yours .  I would've had done a Music Mention of my favourite music album among web series had TVF not released this one. But since it's officially released, this counts a
